Chapter 189: The Warrior's Blade

“Renny!” Pux called out to her, but it was too late; she had already crossed over the boulders and stood in the middle of the dark faerie circle.

As soon as both feet had touched the concrete within the circle, she felt the surge of power twist around her, jerking her spine straight as she became locked into place. Panic gripped her as she struggled to free herself, straining to move an arm, a leg, even a finger, but nothing obeyed her will. She glared at the dark elf as power coiled about her, licking at her flesh and scalding her.

Pux stood at the edge of the circle, his arms extended toward her, but he also was frozen in place, trapped by the dark elf’s power. Glancing around the best she could, she noticed the other two gnomes were gone. Where they went, she had no idea.
